Merkle

Marketing Process Efficiency

Key client pain point:
Enabling the marketing team to operate more efficiently and effectively

What we do:

  • Merkle practitioners identify process and operational inefficiencies in setting strategy, marketing planning and program execution
  • We develop financially justified recommendations for organizational alignment, modified roles and responsibilities, more effective use of existing technology as well as new technologies
  • We implement technology and process improvements, overseeing a change management program to communicate and deliver recommendations to achieve desired and defined results

Value you receive:

  • Significant cost savings and improved marketing ROI from an organization that runs more cohesively and seamlessly in delivering effective marketing to your customers
  • Improved employee and customer satisfaction/engagement, creating an environment where people and teams are encouraged and incented to perform at higher levels

In many established organizations, change is difficult to implement – inhibited by a “we’ve tried that before” mindset. Creating more efficient and effective marketing organizations often involves significant change. But more efficient organizations are more adaptable, and are better positioned to capitalize on dynamic changes rather than just react to them. Marketing process efficiency helps marketing organizations to transform, supported by performance metrics that monitor progress, identify areas for continued improvement, and deliver results. Our range of services includes:

Marketing Process Improvement

Within the Marketing department, there are multiple functions that may not be performed as efficiently as desired, such as the management of campaigns, lists, marketing performance, analytics and resources. Merkle will assess the current processes and identify short- and long-term improvements.
